are these worth the money: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33582&item=2428245821what im really looking for is tighter suspension. I watched a tape on my launch and my front end pops up, i dont want that i want to keep the weight on my tires when i launch. Also i want better turning. I know these springs are not like top top quality but for my money situation will these help me out or do you think it would be a waste of money? What do you guys/girls recommend

well from what I have read the eibach springs are crap (but dont take my word for it) the ride comfort is aweful and they barely lower your car a half inch ( again this is only what I've heard).. but I would say buy them and If you dont like them they were cheap anyway so use them to hold your hood up at shows and by the intrax that they are selling on ebay..
as far as your launch, springs aren't going to help you much you will get more help from upgrading your struts tien makes a really nice set of replacement struts ( not their $1200 coilovers which are awesome) but the kyb struts give a fairly close to stock ride comfort and are a really good quality. those with the intrax spring or even the tien spring which is a little stiffer and gives a really agressive 1.5 inch lower stance should help greatly on your launch,as well as cornering..

Eibach says a 1.3" drop, but thats only compared to new OEM struts and springs. As the car gets older things sag and you already started to drop/lower a little already. I'd say you'd get maybe an inch drop at the most with Eibach, but the handling will greatly improve due t othe stiffer spring rate. Intrax says you could see as much as a 2" drop or new OEM. So you'd probably see 1.5" either way. Just remeber the lower yu go, the more the camber changes. And on the rear we cant adjust it so the wheels will start to angle with the intrax. Also go with new OEM struts. Use our 3Si or the DSM discount at the various Mitsu dealers around. And if you want more control over your suspension on a budget, so with ground control coil-overs. They arent the best, but you can adjust stiffness and ride height to suit your needs. The ultimate would be JIC coil-overs, but at 2 grand a set, its a lil pricey. Hope this helps.

ok heres the next question. I read somewhere on the board that if you get new springs you should get better after market struts, then you could need control arms because of the negitive in the chamber. Now if i get teh coil overs and dont those all right away would that be bad. like get teh springs and not buy the struts/control arms and still be ok im not going to mess anything up?
Thanks for the help guys/gals

You can get the coil-overs without getting new struts, but depending on miles, its not recommended. And you wont need the adjustable camber arms with the coil-overs. I would say just get the ground control with new struts. Either KYB or Stock.
